On Saturday, a man tried to hock the Nikon, but the pros at Empire Loan knew something was off.

"He didn't know the model, asked him to turn it on and didn't know how," said Michael Goldstein of Empire Loan. "We told him, 'We don't think this belongs to you.' That's when he said he found it on the Red Line."

When Goldstein said he'd need to file a report, the man took off.

"We're trying to get back with this family to get back their memories," he said.

The pictures on the camera show a nice family trip of East Coast landmarks. In one shot, a man is wearing an orange knapsack, just like the one the camera came in.

A search on Craigslist found a posting for a camera lost on the Red Line in an orange knapsack.

"We tried to contact them, but unfortunately, the number must have been a misprint," Goldstein said. "We sent them an email saying, 'We think we have your camera.'"

The family, who is from Madrid, contacted Empire Loan claiming the camera. The shop will ship the camera out to them Wednesday.
